<pre><code>After having just read [Chokepoint Capitalism](https://kpwags.com/posts/2022/12/07/chokepoint-capitalism-a-review), it&#39;s good to see the FTC step up and sue to stop this. Microsoft is currently saying and doing &quot;the right things&quot;, but who knows how long that will last if the purchase goes through and they corner more of the market.

Reading Log - December 9 (#9)

<p>At the recommendation of <a href="https://mastodon.world/@kairyssdal">Kai Ryssdal</a> from <a href="https://www.marketplace.org/">Marketplace</a>, I ended up purchasing a new coffee table book called <em>Apollo Remastered</em>. And oh man was it worth the purchase.</p>
<p>All the film taken during NASA&#39;s Apollo Program has been placed in cold storage to protect and preserve them. Andy Saunders has been taking the film and digitizing it and then enhancing the photos taken by the Apollo astronauts for this book. Needless to say, the photos are amazing. I haven&#39;t gotten through a quarter of them and I&#39;m blown away.</p>

<p>If you&#39;re a fan of NASA, space, or are interested in the history of the moon landings, I would highly recommend buying this book.</p>
